Free ISPs

Yahoo maintains list on free internet access.
I like freewwweb the best, and they've been around the longest. They can support any platform if you know enough about configuration! You must use their homepage. They do have a Mac issue documented, and online support email. They also have started to offer free xDSL!
freeI has access numbers everywhere my sweetie has travelled for work recently. One person very happy there! but I have had lingering problems getting the Mac client to work well. You must have their client so you can view their ads. The 2.0 Mac version was worse, and I didn't feel like backing it out once I saw freewwweb finally had a local number for my area. You can read about other Mac experiences with freeI.
1stUp.com provides behind-the-scenes free access for AltaVista, Lycos, and others now with Mac clients as well as Windows clients. You must view their ads. It works slightly better than freeI, but maybe I just played with it less. Choose between front sponsors based on what color scheme you can stand for the window of ads on your screen.
Firstworld DSL offers free installation and free equipment. It does have the monthly cost, I am sure, if that's all the free mentioned!
